 * Do you login details of your Hosting account ? If so, do you know about phpmyadmin
   stuff ?

 * Hi there,
    1. Go to your database through phpmyadmin 2. Open wp_users 3. Find
   the user and press ‘edit’ 4. Edit user_pass, using MD5 function type is obligatory
   5. Sign in using your new password

 * Give this a read.

 * I’m fond of this method myself.

 * If you do go with that method please make sure you backup any files you modify
   first before you edit them.

 * After getting login, go to
 * -Users > Find users one may be with your username
    -> Edit it, scroll down and
   change the email.
 * Thanks!

 * I reset my password recently. When I then logged in successfully, I changed my
   email address.
    Since then, NOTHING is recognised. My account name, neither my
   email address as before nor the new one Digeratic suggests: “1. Go to your database
   through phpmyadmin 2. Open wp_users 3. Find the user and press ‘edit’ 4. Edit
   user_pass, using MD5 function type is obligatory 5. Sign in using your new password”
 * But I have no idea what phpmyadmin is.
    nor MD5 function type How do I get in
   without a user name that won’t work? I know both user name, the email and my 
   password but NONE of them are working! ARRRRGHHGHGHGHG! Really appreciate some
   help. Many thanks
